Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Check-List of Birds of the World, Vol. 12: A Continuation of the Work of James L. Peters; Pachycephalinae Aegithalidae, Remizidae, Paridae, Sittidae, Certhiidae, Rhabdornithidae, Climacteridae, Dicaeidae, Nectariniidae, Zosteropidae, Meliphagidae
This is the fourth volume to be published as a cooperative project after the death of J. L. Peters in 1952. Some manu scripts for this book were completed nearly ten years ago and have been revised several times to keep them up to date. This delay and extra effort is regretted, but it should be remembered that the Six collaborators had varied commit ments, and it was impossible for some authors to complete their sections as promptly as others. It is anticipated, how ever, that as the Check-list series nears completion, the time between the submission Of a manuscript and its publication will decrease, and that the rate with which new volumes appear will accelerate.
